Howdy! So, that’s 2017 nearly over, and, given my Christmas was pure misery thanks to being bed ridden with the flu for nearly all of it, good riddance to them both. Speaking of hoping for better, here’s the best songs of 2017, as per moi. Sure, there are more extensive and thorough end of year lists out there, but you’re here now, somehow, so why not stick around and listen to some boss tunes?

As with the best albums of 2017 list from last week it arrives alphabetically. There is some reissued stuff in here too, which isn’t technically from 2017, but, well, my sense of smell is all out of whack thanks to a headache that nags like toothache, it’s proper jarg, and I simply don’t care anymore. Okay?
